The Ultimate Guide On How To Get A Business Loan In Nigeria

Getting a business loan without collateral is now made easy in Nigeria today. Some banks in Nigeria that wish to support the growth of the nation’s economic have made it possible to grant loans to the entrepreneurs to enable them fund their businesses.

There are many people with different business ideas to set up while some would like to expand their already existing businesses but could not make it due to lack of finance or capital.

Since start-up capital have always be the problems of many entrepreneurs, most of them have lost their interest in doing their dream businesses and have no choice order than to go for white kola jobs that pays them nothing or busy serving an individual.

Having seen how unstable Nigeria’s economic is, thousands of youths who have concluded their tertiary education and wanted to be self-employed are finding it difficult to set up themselves due to lack of support from their friends and family members.

If we are to talk about business opportunities in Nigeria, there are varieties of them which cannot be mentioned. But the major problem that hinders people from doing their dream businesses is the lack of start-up capital or collateral to get loans from the bank.

With the introduction of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME), most Nigeria banks can now grant unsecured loans to entrepreneurs who are willing to start something great.

This loan given to entrepreneurs are meant for them to support their businesses and not for solving personal problems so that they can easily recover their money back with the agreed percentage that will be paid as interest.

Before any bank will give you a loan without collateral, they will set a certain need for the person who want the loan to meet up with so that they won’t waste their money for people who are not serious in doing business but just want to get the loan for something else.

From my findings so far, among all the banks in Nigeria, it’s only few that gives loans without collateral and not all. Because of the problems with start-up capital, I took my time to find out some things you are required to have before you will be granted a loan without collateral.

If you already have a land, that means you are collecting the loan with collateral. You can get a loan from any bank that grants loan to their customers since you have a land as collateral. Just go to the bank and make inquiry and also take note of their interest.
But if you don’t have anything to use as a collateral, just do as I said in the post and it will be granted as far as you have a good business plan to present to them.
